Doctor of Philosophy in Teaching and Learning, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education
As a doctoral candidate in Ohio State’s STEM Education program, you will be immersed in research from the beginning to the end of your program – taking courses, working on funded projects and completing research apprenticeships with faculty members. You will be encouraged and supported in your scholarly endeavors including presenting and participating at national and international conferences and publishing in collaboration with faculty.
Students who began the T&L PhD program in AU25 or beyond will follow the curriculum of one of the five new specializations associated with the PhD redesign. This area of study only pertains to students who began in AU24 or before. If you are a student who started in AU24 or before and want to switch into one of the new specializations, please work with your faculty advisor to determine if this is appropriate for you.
